Sec. 230.16  Annual inspection.



    (a) General. (1) An individual competent to conduct the inspection 

shall perform the annual inspection after 368 calendar days have elapsed 

from the time of the previous annual inspection. This inspection shall 

include all daily, all 31 service day, all 92 service day, and all 

annual inspection items. (See appendix B of this part.)

    (2) Fifth annual inspection. An individual competent to do so shall 

perform a flexible staybolt and cap inspection in accordance with Sec. 

230.41 at each fifth annual inspection.

    (b) FRA notification. FRA Regional Administrators shall be provided 

written notice at least one month prior to an annual inspection and 

shall be afforded an opportunity to be present. If the Regional 

Administrator or their delegate indicates a desire to be present, the 

steam locomotive owner and/or operator will provide a scheduled date and 

location for the inspection. Once scheduled, the inspection must be 

performed at the time and place specified, unless the Regional 

Administrator and the steam locomotive owner and/or operator mutually 

agree to reschedule. If the Regional Administrator requests the 

inspection be performed on another date but the steam locomotive owner 

and/or operator and the Regional Administrator are unable to agree on a 

date for rescheduling, the inspection may be performed as scheduled.

    (c) Filing inspection reports. Within 10 days of completing the 

annual inspection, the steam locomotive owner and/or operator shall 

file, for each steam locomotive inspected, a report of inspection (FRA 

Form No. 3), in the place where the steam locomotive is maintained and 

with the FRA Regional Administrator for that region. (See appendix A of 

this part)
